About transactional messaging

You can create and manage personalized transactional messages in Adobe Campaign.

A transactional message is an individual and unique communication sent to a user by a provider such as a website.

This type of message is particularly expected, as it contains information that the recipient wants to check or confirm. It could be a welcome message after creating an account for example, or a confirmation that an order has shipped, a bill, or a message confirming a password change.

It is an important message that defines the client relation: the user expects it to be sent in real time. The delay between the event being triggered and the message arriving therefore has to be very short.

Transactional messages generally have high open rates.

Adobe Campaign allows you to integrate this functionality with an information system which sends it events that are to be transformed into custom transactional messages.

Note:

Transactional messages can be sent by email, SMS or push notification, depending on your options. Please check your license agreement.

Two types of transactional messages are available in Adobe Campaign:

Event transactional messages targeting an event. The data contained in the event itself is used to define the delivery target.

Profile transactional messages targeting profiles from the Adobe Campaign marketing database. You can use information from the Adobe Campaign database to send a transactional message based on customer marketing profiles.

Adobe Campaign prioritizes processing the transactional messages over any other delivery.

Transactional messaging operating principle

Let's take the example of a company that has a website and on this website its users can buy products.

Adobe Campaign allows you to send a notification email to site users who have added products to their cart: when one of them leaves the site without going through with their purchases, a cart abandonment email is automatically sent to them.

Furthermore, in order for the event to be triggered when a client abandons their cart, this event has to be sent from the company's website using the Adobe Campaign Standard REST API. See
Site integration.

Once all of these steps have been carried out, as soon as a user leaves the site without ordering the products in their cart, they automatically receive a notification email.
